what are people's thoughts on paying for personal seat license for the raiders? Club seats start out at $20,000 per seat for the psl and then $350 a game. Worth the money?
Anyone know the tax consequences of these PSLs? Do they count as a legitimate business expense that would reduce profits for tax reasons?

PSLs for Club Level seats start at $20K/per and go to $80K/per ticket. Add $3,500 per seat for the tickets for 10 home games (8 regular season and 2 pre-season home games). That is a range of $180K to $300K over the 20 year life of the PSL (the term of the stadium lease).
Most of these will be corporate buys or ticket broker groups that will resell the club level seats at a premium to visiting fans. I can see the buyers also hoping to hit the jackpot when the Super Bowl comes to town or we host some other large scale event (i.e. NCAA Football Playoffs) down the road since the PSL theoretically gets you priority for seats for those events.
It will be interesting to see what the terms of the purchase are regarding resales, etc. At this price, even with the ability to write off some of the costs as business expenses, its too rich for me.
That wont stop me from taking the tour and hearing the sales pitch.

Any intel on the PSLs for the cheaper seats? I keep getting emails that my time for an appointment will come soon, but not much info than that.
Looks like all the $75K VVIP seats are sold out and the club seats are all that are being sold so far.

We have a client that purchased a skybox. $500,000 a year (with escalators); 15 year commitment. You get 16 or 18 admissions I believe.

All of these comments seem to assume that the Raiders will stay here for 15 or 20 years. Based on their past history, that seems like a pretty flawed assumption.
Actually, after I posted I looked it up and apparently they were in Oakland for 21 years, then they were in LA for 12 years, then they will have been in Oakland again for 24 years before they move here. So "15 or 20 years" actually does seem like a reasonable, though not assured, guess.

Kudos to Andrew Craner, Anthony Wright and Brian Shapiro for filing their comments with the NV Supreme Court as to Random Trust Account Auditing.
Yes, bless you. Some us have other battles to fight for what is right now. I am glad that people in this profession are starting to stand up for what is right.
Just finished listening to the audio of the presentation to the Supreme Court, they questioned how many audits the state bar accomplished after receiving complaints…the state bar never answered the question… does anyone have any idea?
I don't see the Justices approving the proposal without, at the very least, knowing the procedures on how this would be accomplished. This is the cart before the horse.
Why is it sometimes the craziest people can end being the sanest?

I agree. I also vote that they should get a free trip to the State Bar Convention for having the proverbial balls to do so …. and get an automatic seat on the board!!

I would love to see the lunacy end at the Eighth. I have pipe dreams.
The State Bar, the BOG, and the NSC, are all in unity in that they don't care about any comments about the random audits.
The train has left the station. The random audits are a done deal and will be implemented.
The open period for comments was just a PR show horse to make it seem like they give a hang about what the members think.
They may not have anticipated quite the degree of push back that they got as to the random audits issue, so they at least have to make things look a little better by acting like they will consider input from members.
It's even possible that they will adopt some small(but ultimately pointless) modification to the random audit framework, merely to make it look like they considered the input and concerns.
But, ultimately, nothing really matters, and no one cares.

Hell no. Ridiculous for any team. Especially for the Raiders.
I paid, so I think it will be.
I need to get a job where 920 works, apparently.
